THE MAIN AIM OF THE RESEARCH WAS ANALYZING AND COMPARING THE INJURIES IN 2 GROUPS OF WOMEN FOOTBALLERS AND FUTSALLERS IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE OF IRAN IN THE SEASON OF (88-90) STATISTICAL SOCIETY CONSISTED OF 200 FOOTBALLERS AND 192 FUTSALLERS. OUT OF WHICH THE TARGETED SAMPLES OF THE INJURIES CONSISTED OF (70 FOOTBALLERS AND 75 FUTSALLERS) WERE CHOSEN AND PARTICIPATED IN THIS RESEARCH. THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE INJURIES WERE GATHERED WITH THE USE OF PERSONAL SURVEYS, AS PER THE STANDARDS OF HAWKINS AND FULLER FROM THE PLAYERS AND PHYSIOTHERAPISTS AND TEAM SUPERVISORS WAS FORMED IN A PERIOD OF 2 YEARS RETROSPECTIVE AND FROM THE METHODS OF CORRELATION AND COMPARATIVE RESEARCHES FOR THE ANALYSIS OF DATA AT THE LEVEL OF P£0.5. THE RESULTS SHOWED A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KIND OF INJURIES AND PREVALENCE OF INJURIES IN FOOTBALL AND FUTSAL PLAYERS. ALSO NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEVERITY OF INJURY AND CAUSE OF INJURIES IN FOOTBALL AND FUTSAL PLAYERS. NOTICING THE WORRYING METHODS OF INJURIES IN WOMEN SOCCER PLAYERS SPECIALLY FUTSALL PLAYERS IN IRAN AND IN REGARD TO THE METHODS OF KNEE AND ANKLE INJURIES VARIOUS DEGREES OF STRAIN AND SPRAIN DUE TO TACKLES, COLLISIONS AND DIRECTION CHANGES ARE ADVISED TO THE COACHES AND DOCTORS OF THE TEAMS AND ALSO THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PREVENTION STRATEGIES, SUCH AS HARM REDUCTION EFFORTS IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY AND TRAIN PLAYERS.

THE STUDY IS BASED ON EXAMINING THE ROLE OF PARADIGMATIC RELATIONS (THE ABILITY TO BE SUBSTITUTED BY OTHER WORDS) ON ENGLISH VOCABULARY LEARNING AMONG IRANIAN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. TO FIND OUT THE ROLE OF PARADIGMATIC RELATIONS, 56 STUDENTS FROM A STATE HIGH SCHOOL IN YAZD, IRAN, WHICH WERE ALL FEMALES, AND WERE STUDYING IN TWO JUNIOR CLASSES (AGED 15), WERE DIVIDED INTO CONTROL AND EXPERIMENTAL GROUPS. THE STUDENTS WERE SUPPOSED TO ANSWER A PRE-TEST BASED ON THEIR VOCABULARY KNOWLEDGE. AFTER EXECUTING THE PARADIGMATIC RELATIONS ON VOCABULARY PRESENTED IN THEIR BOOKS, THROUGH TEACHING DURING A TWO-MONTH PERIOD, THE POST TEST WAS HELD IN MAY. THE SCORES ANALYSIS REVEALED THAT THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRE-TEST AND POST-TEST SCORES IN EXPERIMENTAL GROUP. THE RESULTS SPECIFIED THE VOCABULARY LEARNING THROUGH PARADIGMATIC RELATIONS MORE SUCCESSFUL. THERE WILL BE ROOM TO MAKE STUDIES ON THE ROLE OF PARADIGMATIC RELATIONS ON OTHER ASPECTS OF LANGUAGE LEARNING.

BACKGROUND: AS ANTI-APOPTOTIC PROPERTIES OF POLYPHENOLS HAVE BEEN PROVED IN PAST YEARS. IN THIS STUDY, CARCINOGENIC ACTIVITY OF CARNOSIC ACID AND ROSMARINIC ACID IN HUMAN HEPATOMA CARCINOMA CELLS (HEP- G2) WERE STUDIED.METHOD: IN THIS EXPERIMENTAL STUDY, HEP -G2 CELLS WERE CULTURED IN DMEM SUPPLEMENTED CONTAINING BOVINE FETAL SERUM AND ANTIBIOTICS. CELLS WITH DOUBLE DILUTION WERE THEN CULTURED FROM 0 TO 70 MM FOR 24 H AND VIABILITY OF CELLS WAS DETERMINED BY MTT METHOD. IN ORDER TO EVALUATE ACTIVITY OF CASPASE 3 AND 9 ENZYMES AFTER 24 HOURS OF INCUBATION OF THE CELLS WITH TREATED MATERIALS, CELLS WERE CENTRIFUGED AND CELL LYSIS SOLUTION WAS ADDED. THIS MIXTURE WAS CENTRIFUGED AND THEN AN APPROPRIATE SUBSTRATE WAS ADDED INTO EACH ENZYME AND AFTER INCUBATION, ABSORBANCE OF THE RESULTED SOLUTION WAS READ AT 405 NM USING A SPECTROPHOTOMETER DEVICE. TO MEASURE THE LEVEL OF CERAMIDE, A RECOMBINANT ACID CERAMIDASE ENZYME AND NAPHTHALENE-2, 3-DIALDEHYDE, WHICH IS FLUORESCENT AND IS CONNECTED TO SPHINGOSINE RESULTED FROM ACID CERAMIDASE, WERE ADDED TO THE CELL EXTRACT AND WAS ULTIMATELY DETERMINED BY HPLC.RESULTS: CARNOSIC ACID INCREASED CELL VIABILITY AND CAUSED NO INDUCTION OF APOPTOSIS TO A DOSE-DEPENDENT SPECIES IN HEP-G2 CELLS BY REDUCING CERAMIDE LEVELS AND DECREASING ACTIVITY OF CASPASE 3 AND CASPASE 9 ENZYMES. ROSMARINIC ACID IN CONCENTRATIONS OF UP TO 50 MM DECREASED CELL VIABILITY BY INCREASING CERAMIDE LEVELS AND ACTIVITY OF CASPSE-3 AND CASPASE 9 ENZYMES.CONCLUSION: ALTHOUGH IN MOST CASES, POLYPHENOLS HAVE CAUSED NO INDUCTION OF APOPTOSIS AND HAVE DECREASED CELL VIABILITY PERCENTAGE. HOWEVER IN SOME CASES, THEY HAVE AFFECTED INVERSELY AND HAVE CAUSED CELL GROWTH.

NECROPHILIA IS ONE OF THE SEXUAL DEVIATIONS. THIS DISORDER SHOWS ITSELF AS DIFFERENT FORMS OF ACTION AND COVERS A VARIETY OF WRONGDOINGS AGAINST THE DEAD. IN THIS ARTICLE, WE AIM TO FIND ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS INCLUDING: WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF DEAD-RELATED CRIMES? WHAT IS THE RELATION BETWEEN NECROPHILIA AND CRIMES AGAINST THE DEAD? WHAT IS THE PLACE OF LAW AND CRIMINOLOGY IN THE SHADOW OF DISORDER PSYCHOLOGY EXPLANATIONS AND HOW IS IT RELATED TO CRIME AGAINST THE DEAD? TRYING TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS, WE MAY ARRIVE THROUGH AN ANALYSIS OF THE RELATED PRINCIPLES TO CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH MITIGATE CRIMINAL LIABILITY, PROVIDED SOME CONDITIONS ARE FULFILLED. HENCE PUNISHMENTS CAN BE REPLACED WITH SECURITY AND EDUCATIONAL MEASURES AND WE COULD ATTAIN TO A NEW APPROACH IN LEGAL THOUGHT. IN THIS WAY, WE WILL EXPLAIN THESE CRIMES WITH RESPECT TO THE NATURE, CAUSES AND REASONS THAT LEAD THE PERPETRATOR TO POSITION HE/ SHE IS IN.

WE INSPIRED FROM THE MOTIONAL MECHANISMS OF AN INCHWORM, FLEXIBLE TUNA-TAILS AND BATOID FISH, BY UTILIZING ICPF ACTUATORS, FOR MOVING THE MICRO-ROBOT. SINCE MOTIONAL MECHANISM THESE THREE ANIMAL SPECIES TO MOTION THE SURFACE AND UNDERWATER FOR CLEANING OF ORGANIC POLLUTANTS ACCORDING TO A SET OF SUPERFICIAL PROCESSES ON THE WATER, USED FROM FILTRERINGSANORDNING AT THE MOMENT. FILTRATION PROCESS FROM MICRO-ROBOT CAN BE USED IN WATER ABILITY PURIFICATION AT SURFACE OR UNDERWATER IN LIMITED PLACES. IT ALSO IS DESIGNED IN A WAY THAT THE FILTRERINGSANORDNING CAN BE EASILY INSTALLABLE ON THE MOST OF MICRO-ROBOTS. THE MECHANISMS AND THE SPEED OF MOVING OF THE MICRO-ROBOT ARE CALCULATED THEORETICALLY. AT LAST A PRIMARY PATTERN IS MADE (COMPRISES OF TEN ACTUATORS) AND A COLLECTION OF INVESTIGATIONS FOR EVALUATING THE SPEED OF FLOATING AND WALKING MOTIONS ARE DONE. THE SIX ICPF ACTUATORS ARE UTILIZED TO IMPLEMENT GRASPING MOTION.

RECENTLY THE KHUZESTAN PROVINCE IN SOUTHWEST OF IRAN IS AFFECTED BY DUSTSTORM PHENOMENA AND MAKES SOME PROBLEMS IN AGRICULTURE, TRANSPORTATION, COMMUNICATION AND HUMAN HEALTH SIDE EFFECT IN THIS PROVINCE. MINERALOGY, GEOCHEMISTRY OF PARTICLES AND GEO- ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS OF TRACE ELEMENTS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR DETECTING OF MAJOR POLLUTANT. THE COLLECTED DUST SAMPLES WERE ANALYZED FOR GRAIN SIZE, MINERALOGY, AND CHEMICAL COMPOSITION. THE DUST IS PREDOMINANTLY ALUMINOSILICATES (CLAY MINERALS AND FELDSPARS), QUARTZ AND CARBONATES WITH MINOR AMOUNTS OF GYPSUM. THE PARTICLES ARE MOSTLY SUB-ROUNDED TO SUB-ANGULAR AND GENERALLY BETWEEN 5 TO 20MM IN SIZE. XRD STUDIES SHOW THAT CALCITE AND QUARTZ ARE THE MAJOR CONSTITUENTS IN MOST SAMPLES, AND CLAY MINERALS SUCH AS ILLITE AND KAOLINITE ARE ALSO PRESENT. THE MOST IMPORTANT OXIDES ARE SIO2, AL2O3, FE2O3, CAO AND MGO. AN ERODED SEDIMENTARY ENVIRONMENT PRESENTED FOR THE SOURCE OF THESE PARTICLES. FACTOR ANALYSIS HAS BEEN DONE, AND FOUR FACTORS EXTRACTED IN THIS WORK, ENRICHMENT FACTOR FOR ALL MEASURED ELEMENTS SHOW THAT MOST OF ELEMENTS ANALYZED HAVE A NATURAL ABUNDANCE. HOWEVER, SEVERAL ELEMENTS SUCH AS BA, NI, NB, CR, CA, PB, CO AND MN HAVE HIGHER THAN NATURAL ABUNDANCES DUE TO ANTHROPOGENIC ENRICHMENT BY VARIOUS ENRICHMENT FACTORS. SOME RATIOS LIKE TI/NB, GA/AL, RB/K SHOW ALL OF THE DUST SAMPLES HAVE CHEMICAL HOMOGENEITY AND INDICATING A SIMILAR PROVENANCE OR SOURCE AREA. THE DUST AEROSOL SAMPLES HAVE VERY SIMILAR RARE EARTH ELEMENT (REE) PATTERNS, WITH RELATIVE ENRICHMENT OF LIGHT REE, A SLIGHT DEPLETION OF HEAVY REE, AND A STRONGLY NEGATIVE EUROPIUM ANOMALY.

THE MULTI- WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES (MWCNTS) ARE ONE OF THE MOST WIDELY USED ENGINEERED NANOPARTICLES AND ARE EXPECTED TO ENTER NATURAL ECOSYSTEMS. MORE STUDIES ON PLANTS, AS A PART OF FOOD CHAIN, ARE NEEDED TO UNDERSTAND PROFOUNDLY THE TOXICITY AND HEALTH RISKS OF CNMS AS ECOTOXICOLOGICAL STRESSORS. IN THIS STUDY, THE EFFECTS OF MULTI- WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES (MWCNTS) WITH A LENGTH 30 NM ON SEED GERMINATION AND GROWTH OF SIX PLANT SPECIES () WERE EVALUATED IN PETRI DISH (DIRECT EXPOSURE) AND IN SOIL IN A GREENHOUSE EXPERIMENT (SOIL EXPOSURE). DATA DEMONSTRATE THAT UNDER BOTH CULTURE CONDITIONS, LOW OR MILD CONCENTRATIONS MWCNT EITHER STIMULATED OR HAD NO EFFECT ON SEED GERMINATION, ROOT GROWTH AND VEGETATIVE BIOMASS WHILE HIGH CONCENTRATIONS HAD AN INHIBITORY EFFECT. HOWEVER, RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE IMPACTS OF MWCNT ON PLANT GROWTH IN SOIL WERE PARTIALLY CONSISTENT WITH THOSE OBSERVED IN PURE CULTURE. BASED ON DATA AMONG ABOVE SIX SPECIES, LETTUCE AND CANOLA WERE THE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE AND THE MOST TOLERANT SPECIES TO MWCNT TOXICITY. IN ALL SPECIES ROOT GROWTH WAS MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO MWCNT TOXICITY THAN SEED GERMINATION OR SHOOT GROWTH. THE HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF MWCNT CAUSED SIGNIFICANT REDUCTIONS IN FRESH AND DRY WEIGHT OF ARIAL PARTS AND ROOT AND CHLOROPHYLL AND CAROTENOIDS CONTENTS OF ALL SPECIES WHICH ALSO COINCIDED WITH FURTHER ACCUMULATION OF MALONDEALDEHYDE (MDA). THESE FINDINGS SUGGEST THAT DECREASING GROWTH MIGHT BE THE RESULT OF AN MWCNT-INDUCED OXIDATIVE STRESS AND DISTURBTION OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS SYSTEMS.

THE MAIN GOAL OF THE PRESENT RESEARCH WAS TO INVESTIGATE THE METHODS OF DEVELOPING BOOK READING CULTURE AMONG THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS STUDENTS IN TEHRAN CITY. ITS METHODOLOGY WAS DESCRIPTIVE OF SURVEY ONE. ITS POPULATION WAS ALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS TEACHERS WHO SERVING IN TEHRAN CITY IN 1392-93 (A BOUT 93584 PEOPLE). THE SAMPLE WAS CHOSEN ACCORDING TO KERJSY AND MORGAN TABLE 382 PEOPLE. TO MADE THE QUESTIONNAIRE, AFTER DEEP STUDYING OF PREVIOUS RESEARCHES AND THEORETICAL BASES, FOUR MAIN COMPONENTS UNDER THE NAME OF REINFORCEMENT OF FAMILY CULTURE, STUDENTS INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERISTICS, THE LEVEL OF TEACHERS SCIENTIFIC ATTITUDE & IMPROVEMENT OF SCHOOLS FACILITIES CATEGORIZED & DETERMINED & CONFIRMED. IT VALIDITY CONFIRMED BY EXPERT JUDGMENT (10 SPECIALISTS) & ITS RELIABILITY CALCULATED BY CORONBAKH'S CO-EFFICIENT OF 0.95.COLLECTED DATA WAS ANALYZED BY DESCRIPTIVE STATIC AS FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION, PERCENT FREQUENCY TABLE, MODE, MODERATE, MEAN, VARIANCE, STANDARD DEVIATION & INFERENTIAL STATISTICS AS ONE- SAMPLE T-TEST BY SPSS.THE RESULT SHOWED THAT ACCORDING TO TEHRAN CITY ELEMENTARY TEACHERS POINT OF VIEW EACH OF THE MENTIONED METHODS AS REINFORCEMENT OF FAMILY CULTURE, STUDENTS INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERISTICS, THE LEVEL OF TEACHERS SCIENTIFIC ATTITUDE & IMPROVEMENT OF SCHOOLS FACILITIES CONFIRMED & WERE THE MAIN WAYS TO DEVELOP BOOK READING AMONG THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS STUDENTS.

LINEAR LOW DENSITY POLYETHYLENE (LLDPE) DUE TO THEIR ENHANCED PROPERTIES THAN LDPE PROGRESS AND MAINTAIN THEIR PLACE IN THE INDUSTRY AND GLOBAL MARKETS. LLDPE CONVERTS BY EXTRUSION PROCESS TO PRODUCTS SUCH AS PIPES AND FILMS. SCREW IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF A SCREW EXTRUDER THAT DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY. PROCESS VARIABLES SUCH AS TEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY, PRESSURE, SCREW AND CYLINDER CAN BE CHANGED THE EXTRUSION PROCESS YIELD. THEREFORE ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE PROFILE IS A VERY IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF LINEAR LOW DENSITY POLYETHYLENE FILMS BY EXTRUDER MACHINE. IN THE PRESENT WORK THE OPTIMUM TEMPERATURE PROFILE IS OBTAINED FOR THE PRODUCTION OF A THREE-LAYER POLYETHYLENE FILMS BASED ON LLDPE. FOR THIS PURPOSE SEVERAL METHODS HAVE BEEN PROPOSED TO ACHIEVE OPTIMAL THERMAL PROFILE. THE INVESTIGATION SHOW THAT THE METHODS OF THE TEMPERATURE PROFILE REDUCTION FROM THERMAL AREA TO DIE SECTION, CONSTANT TEMPERATURE PROFILE AND CURVED TEMPERATURE PROFILE WERE DECLINED BASED ON THEIR CONTRADICTIONS IN THEORY. SO THE INCREASING PROFILE METHOD IS APPLIED IN EXPERIMENT. THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT THE THERMAL PATTERN WITH STARTING POINT OF 140 °C, STEPS TO INCREASE THE TEMPERATURE (D) EQUAL TO 5 AND MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE EQUAL TO 180 °C, LEAD TO BEST EFFICIENCY, AND IN THIS CASE THE BEST QUALITY PRODUCT WITH MINIMAL TIME AND PRICE COULD BE ESTABLISHED.

AN ENORMOUS RESEARCH THAT HAS BEEN CONDUCTED ABOUT INPUT CLEARLY HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPORTANCE OF INPUT WHICH HAS BEEN A WIDELY RECOGNIZED CONCEPT IN THE FIELD OF SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION. ALTHOUGH IT IS CLEAR THAT A LEARNER NEEDS INPUT, HOW INPUT IS RELATED TO LEARNING IS AN AREA OF CONTENTION. GIVEN THE TYPES OF THE INPUT, CURRENT PAPER PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW WITH REGARD TO THE IMPORTANCE OF LANGUAGE INPUT FROM DIFFERENT THEORIES OF SLA. IN THE SAME LINE, IT GAUGES KARASHEN' INPUT HYPOTHESIS AND ITS OPPONENTS AS WELL AS THE SUPPORTERS.

 DROUGHT IS ASSOCIATED WITH A HOST OF COMPLEX AND INTERWOVEN DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS WHICH NOT ONLY AFFECT SOCIO-ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES IN ONE REGION BUT ALSO EXERT INFLUENCE ON SURROUNDING AREAS. KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF THIS NATURAL HAZARD HELPS REDUCE RISKS LONG BEFORE THE PHENOMENON ACTUALLY TAKES PLACE PARTICULARLY WHEN MAKING NECESSARY DECISIONS. THIS PAPER FOCUSES ON THE ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES OF DROUGHT FOR AGRICULTURE SECTOR AND RELEVANT MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES IN TAROM-E OLIA COUNTY, ZANJAN PROVINCE, IRAN. THIS SURVEY TAKES A DESCRIPTIVE-CORRELATIONAL APPROACH AND ITS STATISTICAL POPULATION CONSISTS OF ALL FARMERS RESIDING IN TAROM-E OLIA COUNTY (N=12000). USING COCHRAN’S FORMULA AND STRATIFIED SAMPLING METHOD 375 FARMERS WERE SELECTED. THE RESEARCH INSTRUMENT WAS A QUESTIONNAIRE. A PANEL OF FACULTY MEMBERS AND EXPERTS CONFIRMED THE VALIDITY OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE. TO TEST THE RELIABILITY OF SCALES, ALPHA CRONBACH'S COEFFICIENT WAS USED WHICH PROVED TO BE ACCEPTABLE (0.908). DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS WERE USED TO DETERMINE FREQUENCIES. ALSO, FACTOR ANALYSIS WAS APPLIED TO SUMMARIZE MECHANISMS IN SMALLER NUMBER OF FACTORS. RESULTS OF THE RANKING OF THE ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF DROUGHT REVEALED THAT "INCREASE IN DEMAND FOR LOAN" AND "LOWER PURCHASING POWER" AND "SCARCITY OF IRRIGATION WATER" ARE AT THE TOP OF THE LIST. 26 ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF DROUGHT WERE EXTRACTED IN 6 FACTORS. ALSO, RESULTS OF MULTIPLE REGRESSION ANALYSIS REVEALED THAT %47 OF THE VARIANCE IS EXPLAINED BY 5 VARIABLES INCLUDING "ENVIRONMENTAL VULNERABILITY", "SIZE OF MECHANIZED ORCHARDS", "USE OF UNDER PRESSURE IRRIGATION SYSTEM", "PARTICIPATION IN AGRICULTURAL TRAINING PROGRAMS", AND "AGRICULTURAL INSURANCE".

IN THE LAST DECADE, THE NUMBER OF SEISMIC STATIONS HAS INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY, AND NEW DENSER REGIONAL NETWORKS WITH ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY HAVE BEEN INSTALLED WORLDWIDE. MOREOVER, THE RECENT IMPROVEMENTS IN THE QUALITY OF SEISMOLOGICAL INSTRUMENTS HAVE RESULTED IN THE APPLICATION OF MODERN BROADBAND SEISMOMETERS WITH HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE DIGITIZERS FOR MOST SEISMOLOGICAL STUDIES. AMONG VARIOUS SEISMIC DATA, BROADBAND NETWORKS PROVIDE VALUABLE DATA FOR SEISMOLOGICAL RESEARCH. THE PURPOSE OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO SURVEY THE QUALITY OF CHABAHAR BROADBAND SEISMIC STATION RECORDS AND STUDY THE SITE EFFECT BY RECORDING THE EARTHQUAKES IN IRANIAN NATIONAL BROADBAND SEISMIC NETWORK RELATED TO INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING AND SEISMOLOGY (IIEES) BY USING 111 RECORDS. IN THIS STUDY, THE ERROR-RATE OF THE STATION BY 8 EARTHQUAKES SELECTED WAS RECOGNIZED AND IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO IN A SINGLE EARTHQUAKE WAS CARRIED OUT. TO DETERMINE THE SITE EFFECT, THE METHOD OF H/V WAS USED. IN THIS METHOD, IT IS SUPPOSED THAT THIS SITE IS MADE OF ROCK AND SO IT HAS BEEN RESEARCHED IN ORDER TO FIND THE APPROXIMATE CAUSES OF ERROR-RATE. THEN, TO SHOW THE BACKGROUND-NOISE ON THE SITE, POWER SPECTRAL DENSITY CURVE WAS PLOTTED AND FINALLY A COMPARISON BASED ON NOISES AND THE SITE EFFECT IN CHABAHAR STATION TO THE OTHER IRANIAN BROADBAND SEISMIC STATIONS WAS MADE.

THE STUDY SOUGHT TO EVALUATE THE SUPERCONDUCTING FAULT CURRENT LIMITER IMPACT ON NETWORK PERFORMANCE PROVIDED WITH A WIND FARM AS DISTRIBUTED GENERATION. USING WIND ENERGY TO PRODUCE ELECTRICITY HAS WITNESSED A REMARKABLE AND TREMENDOUS GROWTH IN RECENT YEARS. CONSIDERING THE DEVELOPMENT IN WIND TURBINE INCLUSION IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENT WOULD FACE AN INCREASE TREND. SHORT-CIRCUIT CURRENT WOULD INSTIGATE THE THERMAL AND MECHANICAL STRESS PROPORTIONAL TO THE SHORT CIRCUIT AMPLITUDE SQUARE CAUSING DAMAGES TO THE EQUIPMENT. USING FAULT CURRENT LIMITERS (FCLS) SITS AMONG THE APPROACHES AS A SIMPLE METHOD TO REDUCE AND PREVENT DAMAGES TO THE EQUIPMENT MAKING THE DISTRIBUTION INEVITABLE. CONSIDERING SUCH GROWTH, SINCE THE AREAS WITH WIND POTENTIALITY ARE NOT NECESSARILY IN THE VICINITY OF CONSUMPTION CENTERS, THE EVALUATING, MODELING, AND ANALYZING THE WIND FARMS IN TERMS OF SYSTEM STABILITY AND POWER QUALITY AND RELIABILITY ARE IMPORTANT ASPECTS WHICH MERIT ATTENTION. THE STUDY FOCUSES ON EVALUATING SUPERCONDUCTING FAULT CURRENT LIMITER IMPACT ON NETWORK PERFORMANCE PROVIDED WITH A WIND TURBINE USING PSCAD/ EMTDC SOFTWARE FOR THE SIMULATION.

ACID FRACTURING IS ONE OF THE WIDELY USED TECHNIQUES FOR STIMULATING WELL PRODUCTION. IT IS AN ALTERNATIVE TO PROPPANT FRACTURING FOR LIMESTONE OR DOLOMITE FORMATIONS. THE SUCCESS OF ACID FRACTURING IS DEPENDENT ON BOTH THE CREATION OF EFFECTIVE FRACTURE CONDUCTIVITY AND FRACTURE PENETRATION. ALTHOUGH THERE HAS BEEN A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF STUDIES ON THE ACID FRACTURING PROCESS, MOST OF THESE HAVE CONCENTRATED ON THE ACID PENETRATION DISTANCE WITH ONLY A FEW DEALING WITH FRACTURE CONDUCTIVITY. ACCURATE DETERMINATION OF THIS PARAMETER IS CRITICAL FOR AN ADEQUATE DESIGN OF FRACTURING JOBS AND PROJECT INVESTMENT PROSPECTS. DUE TO THE STOCHASTIC PROCESS INHERENT IN ACID FRACTURING, ATTEMPTS AT MODELLING HAVE BEEN MET WITH CHALLENGES, PARTICULARLY IN PREDICTING CONDUCTIVITY. IN THIS STUDY, AN INTELLIGENT MODEL WAS DEVELOPED TO PREDICT ACID FRACTURE CONDUCTIVITY. ACID DISSOLVING POWER AND INJECTION RATE AS THE TREATMENT PARAMETERS AND ROCK EMBEDMENT STRENGTH AS THE FORMATION PARAMETER ARE CONSIDERED AT DIFFERENT CLOSURE STRESSES, AND ULTIMATELY, FRACTURE CONDUCTIVITY WAS ANTICIPATED USING THE SUGGESTED MODEL. THE RESULTS SHOWED AN EXCELLENT MATCH WITH THE EXPERIMENTAL DATA COMPARED TO COMMON INDUSTRIAL MODELS. FORMATION LITHOLOGY PLAYED A SUBSTANTIAL ROLE IN ACID FRACTURE CONDUCTIVITY AND LUMPED MODELS WERE NOT ADEQUATE TO PREDICT FRACTURE CONDUCTIVITY.

INTRODUCTION: HYPNOSIS IS ONE OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACHES THAT USED IN MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS PATIENTS. THE EFFECT OF HYPNOSIS DEPENDS ON INDIVIDUAL HYPNOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY. HYPNOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY IS DEGREE OF RESPONSE TO THE HYPNOTIC SUGGESTIONS AND IS A STABLE PERSONAL CHARACTERISTIC.AIM: THE AIM OF PRESENT STUDY WAS TO DETERMINE CORRELATION BETWEEN PERSONAL CHARACTERISTIC AND MENTAL HEALTH WITH THE DEGREE OF HYPNOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY.METHOD: THIS CORRELATION STUDY WAS CARRIED OUT ON 60 WOMEN WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS REFERRING TO THE MS SOCIETY OF URMIA. THE DATA COLLECTION TOOLS THAT USED HERE INCLUDE DEMOGRAPHIC QUESTIONNAIRE, GENERAL HEALTH QUESTIONNAIRE (GHQ) AND STANFORD HYPNOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY SCALE (SHSS).RESULT: IN THE INVESTIGATION OF THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE VARIABLES AND THE HYPNOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY OF THE SAMPLES, THE PEARSON CORRELATION TEST RESULT SHOWED A STATISTICAL CORRELATION BETWEEN AGE AND THE DEGREE OF HYPNOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY (R=-0.29, P VALUE=0.023). ). IN INVESTIGATION OF THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE LEVEL OF EDUCATION AND HYPNOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY, THE INDEPENDENT T-TEST RESULTS SHOWED NO STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT CORRELATION BETWEEN THE TWO VARIABLES (P VALUE>0.05). THE RESULTS OF ANOVA TEST ALSO SHOWED THAT THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT CORRELATION BETWEEN EMPLOYMENT STATUS OF THE SAMPLES AND THEIR HYPNOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY (P VALUE = 0.420). IN ANALYSIS OF RELATION BETWEEN MENTAL HEALTH AND THE DEGREE OF HYPNOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY, PEARSON CORRELATION TEST RESULTS SHOWED WEAK CORRELATION BETWEEN TWO VARIABLES (R=0.089, P VALUE=0.499).CONCLUSION: IN GENERAL IT CAN BE CONCLUDED THAT AMONG THE PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS, THE ONLY SIGNIFICANT CORRELATION IS BETWEEN AGE AND DEGREE OF HYPNOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY OF SAMPLES AND HYPNOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY IS NOT INFLUENCED BY OTHER PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS. IT CAN ALSO BE CONCLUDED THAT HYPNOTHERAPY IS A EFFECTIVE AND SAFE TREATMENT WHICH COULD WELL BE USED IN MS PATIENTS.

THE AIMS OF THIS WORK ARE TO DEVELOP A COMBINED REFRIGERATION SYSTEM AND DO BOTH THERMO ECONOMIC AND EXERGY ANALYSIS OF THIS CYCLE. THREE WORKING FLUIDS (R717, R22, AND R134A) ARE SELECTED FOR THE CONVENTIONAL COMPRESSION SYSTEM AND THE AMMONIA-WATER PAIR FOR THE ABSORPTION SYSTEM. THE GEOTHERMAL TEMPERATURE SOURCE IN THE RANGE 343–349 K SUPPLIES A GENERATOR OPERATING AT 335 K.RESULTS SHOW THAT THE COP CAN BE IMPROVED BY 34-37%, COMPARED WITH THE CONVENTIONAL CYCLE, UNDER THE SAME OPERATING CONDITIONS, THAT IS AN EVAPORATION TEMPERATURE AT 263 K AND A CONDENSATION TEMPERATURE OF 308 K. ALSO THE RESULTS SHOW THAT THE EXERGETIC EFFICIENCY IMPROVED BY 49.5%.FOR INDUSTRIAL REFRIGERATION, THE PROPOSED SYSTEM CONSTITUTES AN ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION FOR REDUCING ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS.

ACETOHYDROXYACID SYNTHASE (AHAS; EC 2.2.1.6) CATALYZES THE FIRST COMMON STEP IN BRANCHED-CHAIN AMINO ACID BIOSYNTHESIS. THIS ENZYME IS INHIBITED BY SEVERAL CHEMICAL CLASSES OF COMPOUNDS AND THIS INHIBITION IS THE BASIS OF ACTION OF THE SULFONYLUREA HERBICIDES. HERE WE CALCULATE THE NEGATIVE LOGARITHM INHIBITION CONSTANT (PKI) OF 68 SULFONYLUREA ANALOGS AS INHIBITORS OF PURE RECOMBINANT ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA AHAS USING QUANTITATIVE STRUCTURE-ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIP (QSAR). SUITABLE SET OF MOLECULAR DESCRIPTORS WERE CALCULATED AND THE IMPORTANT DESCRIPTORS WERE SELECTED BY GENETIC ALGORITHM AND STEPWISE MULTIPLE REGRESSION METHODS. THESE VARIABLES SERVE AS INPUTS TO GENERATED NEURAL NETWORKS. AFTER OPTIMIZATION AND TRAINING OF THE NETWORKS, THEY WERE USED FOR THE CALCULATION OF PKI FOR THE PREDICTION SET. COMPARISON BETWEEN OBTAINED RESULTS SHOWED THE SUPERIORITY OF GENETIC ALGORITHM OVER STEPWISE MULTIPLE REGRESSION METHOD IN FEATURE-SELECTION. FOR NETWORK THAT USED THE GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR FEATURE-SELECTION, THERE ARE VERY GOOD AGREEMENTS BETWEEN CALCULATED AND EXPERIMENTAL PKI FOR DATA SET. THE CORRELATION COEFFICIENT BETWEEN CALCULATED AND EXPERIMENTAL VALUES OF PKI FOR TRAINING AND PREDICTION SET ARE 0.988 AND 0.954, RESPECTIVELY.

FOR NEARLY FOUR DECADES, STEEL MOMENT-RESISTING FRAMES HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED ONE OF THE BEST STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS FOR BUILDINGS IN REGIONS SUSCEPTIBLE TO SEVERE SEISMIC GROUND SHAKING. THEY PROVIDE EXCELLENT COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN THE STRUCTURE AND OPEN ARCHITECTURE OF MOST OFFICE AND RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS. HOWEVER, EXPERIENCE AND RESEARCH SHOW THAT SEVERE EARTHQUAKES COULD PRODUCE VERY LARGE INTER-STORY DRIFTS IN MOMENT FRAMES. SUCH LARGE DRIFTS COULD RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO STRUCTURAL AND ARCHITECTURAL COMPONENTS. AS SUCH, TECHNICAL AND ECONOMICAL CONSIDERATIONS HAVE LED MANY ENGINEERS TO SEEK OUT SIMPLER AND MORE ECONOMICAL SYSTEMS THAT CAN PROVIDE GOOD SEISMIC PERFORMANCE WITH REDUCED INTER-STORY DISPLACEMENTS. RELATIVELY SPEAKING, SEISMIC RETROFITTING OF BUILDINGS IS STILL A NEW ACTIVITY FOR MOST OF STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS. THE RETROFITTING OF A BUILDING REQUIRES AN APPRECIATION FOR THE TECHNICAL, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF THE ISSUE IN HAND. STEEL BRACING IS COMMONLY USED TO INCREASE THE SEISMIC STRENGTH OF FRAMES EITHER FOR REHABILITATION OF STRUCTURES DAMAGED BY AN EARTHQUAKE OR FOR STRENGTHENING OF AN UNDAMAGED STRUCTURE MADE NECESSARY BY REVISIONS IN STRUCTURAL DESIGN OR LOADING CODES OF PRACTICE. CONSIDERING THE EASE OF CONSTRUCTION AND THE RELATIVELY LOW COST, STEEL BRACING APPEARS TO BE ATTRACTIVE COMPARED TO OTHER CONVENTIONAL UPGRADING TECHNIQUES SUCH AS ADDING CONCRETE OR MASONRY SHEAR WALLS OR BASE ISOLATION SYSTEMS. THE BRACING METHODS ADOPTED FALL INTO TWO MAIN CATEGORIES, NAMELY (I) EXTERNAL BRACING AND (II) INTERNAL BRACING. ECCENTRIC BRACING FRAMES (EBFS) IS WIDELY USED IN THE NEW STRUCTURES BECAUSE OF ITS ABILITIES IN OF MAKING OPENINGS IN OUTER FRAMES OF STRUCTURE. INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS LET US TO USE THIS TYPE OF BRACING IN DESIGN AND RETROFITTING OF STRUCTURES. IN THIS PAPER WE HAVE MODELED A NEW TYPE OF ECCENTRIC BRACING SYSTEM WHICH MENTIONED IN AISC LEARNING SLIDES AS A NEW AND UNCONVENTIONAL BRACING SYSTEM. THIS MODEL IS AN EXPOSED BRACING SYSTEM SO IT CAN BE USED FOR RETROFITTING OF AVAILABLE STRUCTURES. THE INTRODUCED BRACING SYSTEM IS SOMETHING LIKE EBF BRACING SYSTEMS BUT THE MODELING AND ANALYSIS OF IT, SHOWN US THAT THE BEHAVIOR IS SOMETHING BETWEEN MOMENT FRAME AND ECCENTRIC BRACING FRAMES. WE HAVE MODELLED A SAME 3-D 6 STORY STRUCTURE IN SOFTWARE AND THEN RETROFIT THE STRUCTURES WITH VARIOUS COMMON AVAILABLE METHODS. THE BEAMS AND COLUMNS ARE SAME AT EACH STRUCTURE SO WE CAN CONNECT THE LATERAL DISPLACEMENT OF STRUCTURES WITH THE STIFFNESS OF THE BRACING SYSTEM. IN THIS PAPER WE HAVE TRIED TO DESCRIBE THIS MODEL OF BRACING AND THEN COMPARE THIS MODEL WITH OTHER COMMON METHODS, BUT IT SEEMS THAT FOR FURTHER STUDIES AND REACH THE MORE EXACT RESULTS WE NEED TO TEST SOME MORE STRUCTURES BY OTHER METHODS OF ANALYSIS LIKE TIME-HISTORY OR PUSHOVER ANALYSIS. SOMETHING IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MENTION IS THAT THE BEHAVIOR FACTOR OF THIS NEW MODEL HAVE TO BE CALCULATED BY OTHER RESEARCHERS THEN WE CAN BE ABLE TO ANALYSIS THIS MODEL BY MORE EXACT INFORMATION. THE RESULTS SHOWN THAT THE SUPPOSED BRACING SYSTEM COULD BE USEFUL FOR THE PURPOSE OF RETROFIT THE STRUCTURE WITH HIGH DUCTILITY AND GOOD RESIST AGAINST THE LATERAL LOADS.

NOWADAYS CONSUMERS ARE COMPLETELY HEALTH- CONSCIOUS AND INFORMED ABOUT CONCEPT OF FUNCTIONAL FOOD. FOOD PROTEINS CONTAIN VARIOUS BIOACTIVE PEPTIDES WHICH SHOW POSITIVE PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS IN HUMAN BODY BEYOND THEIR ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS AND NUTRITIONAL VALUES. MILK IS A LIQUID FOOD CONTAINS VALUABLE PROTEINS. BIOACTIVE PEPTIDES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED WITHIN THE AMINO ACID SEQUENCES OF MILK PROTEINS. IN THIS CONTEXT, THE MILK BIOPEPTIDES HAVE ATTRACTED INTERESTS AND MILK PROTEIN DERIVED PEPTIDES SHOWING SEVERAL HEALTH BENEFICIAL ACTIVITIES SUCH AS OPIATE, ANTITHROMBOTIC, ANTIOXIDATIVE, MINERAL- BINDING PROPERTIES, HYPOCHOLESTEROLEMIC, OSTEOPROTECTIVE, ANTIMICROBIAL AND ANTIHYPERTENSIVE. THESE BIOPEPTIDES ARE INACTIVE IN THE SEQUENCE OF THEIR PARENT PROTEIN IN MILK. IN ORDER TO SHOW HEALTH EFFECTS, THEY HAVE TO BE RELEASED THROUGH THE HYDROLYTIC REACTIONS LIKE THOSE CATALYZED BY DIGESTIVE ENZYMES AND REACH TO THE TARGET CELLS. THIS STUDY PROVIDES UPDATED AND OUTSTANDING INFORMATION ABOUT HEALTH BENEFITS EFFECTS OF MILK BIOACTIVE PEPTIDES. IT IS ALSO DESCRIBED HOW THEY MAKE THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS ON THE CONSUMERS.

THIS PAPER CREATES A DIFFERENT INSIGHT TO IMPROVE PHASE NOISE OF INJECTION-COUPLED QUADRATURE OSCILLATORS (QOS). IN FACT, THERE ARE SEVERAL PHASE NOISE FUNCTIONS AND THE IMPORTANT PARAMETER IS CARRIER POWER THAT CONSIDERED HERE. THE QO IS ANALYZED AND THE MISMATCHES BETWEEN LC TANKS THAT ARE THE MAIN PROOFS OF PHASE ERROR IN THIS OSCILLATOR ARE SHOWN. THE MAIN AIM OF THIS PAPER IS FOCUSED ON THE REDUCTION OF PHASE NOISE BY CONSIDERING DC TERM. IT IS SHOWN THAT THE DC LEVEL WHICH IGNORED IN THE MOST PREVIOUS WORKS IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO IMPROVE PHASE NOISE BY THE CARRIER POWER. WITH DUE ATTENTION IN THE PREVIOUS EQUATIONS THE PHASE NOISE CAN BE REDUCED AND THE PHASE ERROR CAN BE CANCELLED OR CONTROLLED BY ADJUSTING BIAS CURRENT. ON THE OTHER WORD AS A RESULT, IS OBTAINED THAT INCREASING OF THE DRAIN CURRENT AND THE VOLTAGE OF LC TANK DECREASE THE PHASE NOISE AND THE PHASE ERROR SIMULTANEOUSLY. TO CONFIRM THE PROPOSED IDEA AND ANALYSIS, A 5.5 GHZ QO IS DESIGNED AND SIMULATED USING 0.18 MM TSMC CMOS TECHNOLOGY. THE SIMULATION RESULTS SHOW CONFIRMATION OF THE PROPOSED IDEA.

CRISIS MANAGEMENT IS A MULTI-TASK FIELD OF SCIENCE WHICH HAS CLOSE CONNECTION WITH OTHER FIELDS SUCH AS ENGINEERING, MANAGEMENT, RISK ASSESSMENT AND IT. BESIDE THIS, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS A BRANCH OF COMPUTER SCIENCE, INVOLVED IN THE RESEARCH, DESIGN, AND APPLICATION OF INTELLIGENT COMPUTER. RECENTLY, TRADITIONAL METHODS FOR COMPUTING OF COMPLEX STRUCTURES ARE BECOMING EXPIRED AND NEW, INNOVATIVE, MORE COMPLETE AND QUICK SYSTEMS ARE BEING USED FOR COMPLICATED CALCULATIONS. AS MENTIONED ABOVE, AI OR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS A BASED-SOLUTION PROCESS CAN PROVIDE VALUABLE ALTERNATIVES FOR EFFICIENTLY SOLVING PROBLEMS IN THE CIVIL ENGINEERING AND ITS RELATED ASPECTS FOR RISK AND CRISIS MANAGEMENT PLANNING. THIS PAPER TALKS ABOUT RECENTLY DEVELOPED METHODS AND THEORIES IN THE DEVELOPING DIRECTION FOR APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN CIVIL ENGINEERING, ESPECIALLY IN THE FIELD OF EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING AS ONE THE ESSENTIAL FIELD FOR ASSESSING NATURAL DISASTERS. AI INCLUDES EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION, NEURAL NETWORKS, FUZZY SYSTEMS, EXPERT SYSTEM, REASONING, CLASSIFICATION, AND LEARNING, AS WELL AS OTHERS LIKE CHAOS THEORY, CUCKOO SEARCH, FIREFLY ALGORITHM, KNOWLEDGE-BASED ENGINEERING, AND SIMULATED ANNEALING AND ALL OF THESE TRAITS ARE NECESSARY FOR MULTI- FACTOR PROBLEMS SUCH AS CRISIS MANAGEMENT ISSUES AND AFFECT IN REGIONAL RESILIENCE.

CONTAMINATION OF SOIL AND WATER ENVIRONMENT BY HEAVY METALS IN A MINING AREA AND THEIR EFFECT ON THE SOIL AND WATER CHARACTERISTICS WERE DETERMINED. DESPITE THE EVER-INCREASING DEVELOPMENT IN MINING ACTIVITIES IN IRAN, A LITTLE ATTENTION HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS IN SOME CASES. IN THIS STUDY, DISTRIBUTION OF POLLUTANTS (AS, SB, AG, AND ZN) IN NATURAL RESOURCES SUCH AS SURFACE SOIL, SEDIMENTS AND WATER, IN ADDITION TO ADJACENT ROCK OF RIVER BED HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED. CORRELATIONS BETWEEN THESE ELEMENTS, SIZES OF SEDIMENTARY GRAINS, AND THE REASONS OF SOLUTION AND PRECIPITATION OF MINERALS HAVE ALSO BEEN STUDIED AND COMPARED. ADDITIONALLY THE EFFECTS OF SOME OF THE NATURAL GEOCHEMICAL BARRIERS ON TRANSFERRING ELEMENTS HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED. DISTRIBUTION OF POLLUTANT ELEMENTS FROM DISTANCES FAR FROM SOURCES OF POLLUTION CAN BE TRACED IN THE REGIONAL PLANTS. FINALLY, WHILE PRESENTING ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH PROBLEMS, SOME PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS FOR THE PREVENTION OF POLLUTION DISTRIBUTION IS CITED.

BACKGROUND: INTERLEUKIN-2 (IL-2) IS A PROTEIN CONSISTED OF 132 AMINO ACIDS (MW= 15.3 KDA). ALDESLEUKIN IS THE SYNTHETIC FORM OF THE PROTEIN WHICH IS USED AS AN EFFECTIVE FUNCTION FOR IMMUNO SYSTEM. CURRENT STUDY WAS AIMED TO INVESTIGATE THE EXPRESSION OF RHIL-2 IN E. COLI BL21 (DE3) EXPRESSION SYSTEM IN ORDER TO PRODUCE AN ACTIVE RECOMBINANT FORM OF THE PROTEIN. METHODS: FIRSTLY CODON OPTIMIZATION WAS DONE FOR HIL-2 GENE. THEN THE GENE WAS SYNTHESIZED AND INSERTED IN PET-24A VECTOR BY A CUTTING STRATEGY INCLUDED NDEI AND BAMHI-HF ENZYMES. IN THE NEXT STEP, GENE WAS RUN IN AGAROSE GEL AND PURIFIED. THE CONSTRUCTED EXPRESSION CASSETTE WAS TRANSFORMED INTO E. COLI BL21 (DE3) CELLS THROUGH CACL2 HEAT SHOCK METHOD. IDENTIFICATION AND CONFIRMATION OF THE TRANSFORMED COLONIES WERE PERFORMED USING SCREENING PCR METHOD. SYNTHESIS OF RHIL-2 WAS INDUCED BY IPTG. THE EXPRESSION IN INDUCED STRAINS WAS ANALYZED BY SDS-PAGE AND WESTERN BLOTTING TECHNIQUES. RESULTS: ANALYSIS OF TRANSFORMED E. COLI STRAIN WITH SDS-PAGE AND WESTERN BLOTTING TECHNIQUES CONFIRMED THAT GENE WAS EXPRESSED IN HOST CELLS. MOLECULAR WEIGHT OF THE EXPRESSED PROTEIN WAS ESTIMATED TO BE 7.6 KDA. CONCLUSION: RHIL-2 EXPRESSION CASSETTE FOR CLONING AND EXPRESSION IN E. COLI WAS DESIGNED AND THE PROTEIN OF INTEREST WAS SUCCESSFULLY INDUCED AND IDENTIFIED. E. COLI BL21 (DE3) CAN BE USED AS A SUITABLE HOST FOR PRODUCTION OF RECOMBINANT HIL-2 AND THIS TECHNOLOGY HAS A POTENTIAL TO BE LOCALIZED.

FRAUD CONTINUING VARIATION IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FRAUD DETECTION CHALLENGE IN ELECTRONIC PAYMENT SYSTEMS. ELECTRONIC MARKETS NEED HIGH PERFORMANCE FRAUD DETECTION METHODS WITH TOP ACCURACY. IN THIS PROJECT WE HAVE USED LOGISTIC REGRESSION, BP NEURAL NETWORK AND GMDH NEURAL NETWORK TO MAKE A USEFUL METHOD DETECTING FRAUD IN A BANK FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS. WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED THESE METHODS ON REAL DATASET AND HAVE MEASURED THEIR RESULTS. THE RESULTS ARE GMDH NEURAL NETWORK 91.73%, LOGISTIC REGRESSION 89.26% AND BP NEURAL NETWORK 90.54%. THEREFORE OUR RECOMMENDED METHOD HAS THE BEST ACCURACY.

BY USING AB INITIO DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY WE STUDIED THE STRUCTURAL AND ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES OF ZINC OXIDE, MONOLAYER, DOUBLE LAYER GRAPHENLIKE AND NANORIBBONS WITH ARMCHAIR AND ZIGZAG EDGES. IN CASE THE DOUBLE LAYER, THE EFFECTS OF INTER-LAYER COUPLING ON THE ELECTRONIC STRUCTURES, WERE OBSERVED. THESE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE ENERGY GAP IN THE MONOLAYER WAS CLOSED BY INTER-LAYER COUPLING. IT WAS FOUND THAT THE ZNO DOUBLE LAYER HAS A METALLIC BEHAVIOR. OUR RESULTS SHOWED ZIGZAG ZNO NANORIBBONS HAVE METALIC PROPERTY, BUT ZNO ARMCHAIR NANORIBBONS SHOWED SEMICONDUCTOR BEHAVIOR.

IN THIS WORK, THE ELECTROCHEMICAL BEHAVIOR OF TAMOXIFEN AS AN ANTI CANCER DRUG WERE ADDRESSED AT A GLASSY CARBON ELECTRODE (GCE). CYCLIC VOLTAMETRY (CV) AND CHRRONOAMPEROMETRY WERE USED TO UNDERSTAND THE ELECTROCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF TAMOXIFEN (TAM) IN BRITTON-RUBINSON (BR) BUFFER (PH= 4.2). BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THE RECORDED CV, THE ELECTRODEPOSITION AND ANODIC STRIPING BEHAVIOR OF THE TAM WERE INVESTIGATED AT THE SURFACE OF GCE. TO FIND THE BEST CONDITION FOR TAKING A SHARP ANALYTICAL PEAK CONCERNING THE ELECTRO-OXIDATION OF TAM, DIFFERENTIAL PULSE ANODIC ADSORPTIVE STRIPING VOLTAMMETRY (DPAASV) WAS STUDIED. THE PRIMARY EXPERIMENTS DEMONSTRATED THAT THE DPAASV PRESENTS A SUFFICIENT OXIDATION PEAK CURRENT AT APPROXIMATELY 1.1 V VS AG/AGCL. THEREFORE, THE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT PARAMETERS SUCH AS; DEPOSITION POTENTIAL, DEPOSITION TIME, PH AND THE ELECTROCLEANING CONDITION HAS BEEN STUDIED AND OPTIMIZED. THE OBTAINED RESULTS SHOWN THAT THE -1.4 V, 30S, PH=4.2 AND CLEANING IN H2SO4 0.5 M ARE THE OPTIMAL VALUES, RESPECTIVELY. THEN THE CALIBRATION CURVE WAS PLOTTED IN THE RANGE OF 1 TO 10 MM AND THE LIMITS OF DETECTION (LOD) AND QUANTITATION (LOQ) WERE CALCULATED TO BE 0.621 AND 2.07 MM, RESPECTIVELY. THE MEAN, STANDARD ERROR AND RELATIVE STANDARD DEVIATION (RSD) FOR FIVE REPLICATES OF 4.0 MM WERE FOUND TO BE 4.1 MM, 2.65% AND 3.62%, RESPECTIVELY. TO ESTIMATE THE APPLICATION POTENTIAL OF THE PROPOSED METHOD, THE EXTRACTION OF TAM FROM TABLETS CONTAINING 20 MG TAM WERE INVESTIGATED AND OPTIMIZED. FINALLY, THE PROPOSED METHOD WAS SUCCESSFULLY EMPLOYED FOR DETERMINATION OF TAM IN SPIKED PHYSIOLOGICAL SAMPLES.
